by Richard Le Gallienne (1866 - 1947)
Heart, have you heard the news?
Language: English
Heart, have you heard the news? The Spring has come back, have you heard? And the little green shoot, And the little pink bud, and the new hatch’d bird, And the Rose! Nightingale, say, have you heard the news? The Rose has come back And the green and the blue, And everything is as new as the dew; New, Nightingale, New, Rose!
